HANDLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 765,737, dated July 26,1904.

' Application filed May 1'7, 1904:. Serial No. 208,397. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY FRANCIS KEIL, a citizen of the United Statesof America, and a resident of Bronxville, in the county of Westchesterand State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Handle, ofwhich the following is a specification, the same being a full, clear,andexact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilledin the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to articles constructed and arranged to be graspedby the hand in using or moving objects, and in particular to handles orpulls ordinarily designated by builders as window-pulls, door-pulls,drawer-pulls, and store-door handles; and it has for its object theproduction of an article made of metal in such a manner as to be readilyassembled in order to provide a strong, durable, and ornamental althoughinexpensive handle.

With this object in view the invention consists in certain novelfeatures of construction and combination and arrangement of parts, allof which will be hereinafter described,and specifically pointed out inthe drawings which accompany and form a part of this specification, inwhich Figure 1 represents a perspective view of my handle as used forstore-doors. Fig. 2 is a detail of the bar of my handle. Figs. 3 and 4are detail views of the end pieces or brackets thereof, and Figs. 5 and6 are details in section showing the manner in which my bar and the endbrackets are assembled together.

Like letters of reference indicate like parts in all the views.

Referring particularly to the drawings, A denotes a preferably solidmetal bar constituting the body of my handle, the said bar and the fancyor ornamental ends A thereof being all of onepiece. Intermediate the barA and the ends A are formed necks a. The bar-body A, ornamental ends A,and intermediate necks c are of graduated diameter, the neck-piecesbeing preferably thinner than the1 bar-body and thicker than theornamental enc s.

The end pieces or brackets B, which may be of any suitable form orconstruction, are each made with an orifice b, constructed and arrangedto be smaller in diameter than the body of the barA and larger indiameter than the ends A and to register with the neck a, which latteris preferably made a little longer than the thickness of the metal ofthe bracket B.

In order to assemble the parts, the end A of the bar A is passed throughthe orifice 6 of the end pieces or brackets B, the end of the neckprojecting for a little distance through the end piece or bracket, asshown in Fig. 5. The projecting end or outer edge of the neckpiece isthen rounded off by being spun or otherwise forced over or onto thebracket B along the edge surrounding the orifice b, as at a in Fig. 6, arigid and permanent joint being thus formed.

As it is evident that many changes in the construction, form,proportion, and relative arrangement of parts might be resorted towithout departing from the spirit and scope of my invention, I wouldhave it understood that I do not restrict myself to the particularconstruction and arrangement of parts shown and described, but that suchchanges and equivalents may be substituted therefor, and that WhatIclaim as my invention is In a pull or handle, a bar consisting of threesections, a body portion, ornamental ends thereof and intermediatenecks, the sections being each of diflerent diameter, in combinationwith brackets or end pieces therefor, each provided with an orificesmaller than the bar-body and larger in diameter than the end thereofand constructed and arranged to register with the neck-piece, the top ofthe neck-piece being spun or forced over onto the said bracket.

In testimony of the foregoing specification I do hereby sign the same,in the city of New York, county and State of New York, this 19th day ofApril, 1904:.

HENRY FRANCIS KEIL.
